It suggests: what makes the innovation systems of certain cities smart, defines them in this way and allows them to stand out, is the growing tendency for a certain type of academic leadership to consider the embedded intelligence of these networks, attributes and capacities as something of strategic value.
MEST (2011) present the features of smart learning defined as self-directed, motivated, adaptive, resource-enriched and technology-embedded, while Lee (2015) proposed that the features of smart learning include formal and informal learning, social and collaborative learning, personalised and situated learning, and application and content focus.
The competition, won by a consortium including the Colt Group, asked entrants to use smart materials, defined as "systems and products that behave dynamically, unlike conventional building materials, which are static".
Shape-memory polymers (SMPs) are a class of mechanically functional "smart" materials defined by their ability to change shape upon exposure to an environmental stimulus.
Elsewhere, smart is defined through examples of contemporary technology trends introduced by any of the players in the international market, such as IBM in its report Education for a Smarter Planet (2009).
This tool consists of data-rich smart objects (defined in terms of building elements and systems such as spaces, walls, beams, and columns) being aggregated for the digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of facilities.
"Smart Power" defined Hillary's foreign policy doctrine -- a balance of strength and heart.
The subgroups and the data used to create the groupings (Pfam, SMART groups defined by other researchers) are listed in Table 3 and Additional file 7.
Smart phones, defined as 'a mobile phone that is able to perform many of the functions of computer devices', have developed rapidly over the last decade becoming smaller, faster, with improved storage capacity, optical resolution and camera functionality [ 4].
They are smart in defining what is key: not just famous buildings like Unity Temple and the headquarters of the Johnson Wax Company but also the Larkin Building, in Buffalo, senselessly demolished for a parking lot in 1950, and, from 1924, the wonderfully named Gordon Strong Automobile Objective, an unbuilt design for a mountaintop planetarium reached by a spiral road.
